April came and left too fast

As cliche as this sounds but seriously, TIME FLIES. Especially this year for me, I dont know why.

April was the travelling month for me. India, China, Hong Kong and then Macau.

Here, I wanna take a moment and thank my boss (machiam like Oscar award). If my boss continue to bring my to beautiful places like sanya, i will never leave.....=)

Gurgaon, Delhi, India
I went to India with a little hesitation and a little fear. All the talk about the water, the air and the damn movie, Slumdog Millionaire, I was half expecting walking out of the airport and smelling sewage, getting rob immediately and suffering from diarrohea. Well, a gust of warm air greeted me as I walked out of the airport but it doesnt smell. While walking to the carpark, a boy tried to haggle for handouts but left me alone. But the food.....IT WAS HEAVENLY.

Kebabs, Briyani, Cottage Cheese, Dhall....I never tasted better Indian food nor have I love Indian food as much....I swear, I must have gained like 3kgs in the 3 days I was there. Nope, I rephrase, 5kg. Besides, India's Kingfisher beer isnt that bad!

Sanya, Hainan, China
I went to Audrey's family hometown. Sanya was beautifullll, well at the resort where I was. Hainanese chicken rice there doesnt compare to Singapore but China fascinates me. I can't wait to explore another part of it.

Hong Kong & Macau
When work was finally over and done with (for April at least), I took a short holiday to Hong Kong. Xiaohei, his mom and my mom met me in there and 4 of us did all the possible touristy thing. But the weather was not with us this time, fog covered 60% of the peak, making visibility non existent when we were at the top.

I must say, after 3 years working for a Hong Konger boss, my cantonese has improved!!! Although I bet all the locals I spoke to probably think Im either a joke or insulting their language but heck, I tried.

May is a grounded month for me, besides, with my excellent financial skills, Im already broke and its only the 5th day of the month.

Til the next adventure. Cant wait.
